Inner Voice poem inspired by the Nelly Sachs line:
How slowly we flash up in clarity.
How the tiny steps we take
slowly move us to the places
we need to be. Things are static, then
flash! the shift is recognized,
up from what we know, where we stand
in the present, the now, with increasing
clarity of what surrounds us,
the actions we must take.
I have made a commitment to three things: finding time for Blue Space (beach, sky), Green Space (earth, woods), and the responses I have to poets & writers. I seek to discover the art of being.
